Everyone wears down eventually. If Starlin Castro is really the .280 OBP guy he's been for a year and a week, and Anthony Rizzo is kinda ordinary, then this team's window *still* might be several years away, as depressing as that is.
I see they've been promoted back from Cobs. I just want one stupid early-season flirtation with decency. Like when a crummy team starts 15-12 even though you know they'll fall apart in the second half.
Allow me to be the first to break out the Reverse Standings, in the hope that this becomes what we call them and not the other stupid name. Arizona 1-6 Cubs 1-4 (assuming we don't come back in ninth) Cincinnati 1-4 San Diego 1-3 LA Angels 1-3
